Resumen
El análisis de las diversas evaluaciones que se gestan en el aula es fundamental para
poder reinterpretar el quehacer educativo y el logro de los aprendizajes, partiendo de la necesidad
que tiene la academia de ofrecer a la población adolescente alternativas de medición de los
contenidos menos conductistas y más motivantes, por ello el objetivo de esta investigación fue
identificar el tipo de relación que existe entre la forma en que se enseña y la forma en que se
evalúa, con el nivel de logro de los aprendizajes de los conceptos de biología en el aula. Para
ello, se desarrolló una investigación etnográfica mediante un estudio de caso, cuyas técnicas de
recolección de datos fueron: observaciones, entrevistas y un grupo focal. Entre las conclusiones
se corroboró que la evaluación se enmarcaba dentro de la propuesta sumativa del MEP, pero la
profesora siempre aplicaba una evaluación integral, que incluía distintas formas de verificación del
contenido, y la puesta de las distintas habilidades por parte del estudiantado. Ella contemplaba
todas las estrategias didácticas empleadas, lo que generaba motivación y concentración para cada
una de las actividades. De esta manera, las estrategias y técnicas didácticas iban de la mano con la
evaluación de los aprendizajes.
The analysis of various evaluation processes that are developed in the classroom is essential to reinterpret the educational work and the learning achievements, based on the need of the teachers in offering the students a less repressive and more motivating alternatives to measure the study contents. Thus, the purpose of this research was to identify the type of relationship existing between the way it is taught and how it is evaluated -with the level of learning achievement of biological concepts in the classroom. For it, an ethnography was developed through a case study whose data collection techniques were: observations, interviews and a focus group. The findings confirmed that the evaluation was part of the summative proposal suggested by the Ministry of Public Education (MEP, for its name in Spanish). The teacher always applied a comprehensive evaluation, including different ways to verify contents, as well as the implementation of several skills by the students. Additionally, the teacher considered all the teaching strategies used, which generated motivation and concentration for each of the activities. Therefore, the strategies and teaching techniques went hand in hand with the learning evaluation.
